[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 2156173, member: 3146"] Sword of Indomitable Righteousness Scepter of Unbearable Pain Pride of the Invicible Overlord Relentless Invincible ... Moniker of Insufferable Arrogance Post Dated Check Loan Predictably Damaged Toenail Serial Peacemaker Check out Schlock Mercenary...there's plenty of good inspiration for ship names from the pretentious to mocking. And it's a darn good web comic too. Otherwise, Babylon 5 had a pretty nifty naming scheme for Earth Force destroyers: they were mostly named after Greek heroes: Aggamemnon Achilles Hector Diomedes Odysseus Theseus etc. That sounds dignified and powerful (as long as you're not on the Oedipus :). You could also take a bit more modern tack and just name them after famous leaders: USS John Paul Jones USS Abraham Lincoln USS Karol Wotylja USS Ronald Reagan USS Hillary Clinton etc. Such names can also be either a blatant or a subtle political commentary depending upon how they're used. CMS [Confederate Martian Ship] Matthew Dyment--who's he? Oh, he was the first president of Mars Colony and wrote their Declaration of Independence in 2113. It can also be a way of introducing your alternate history for the campaign world to the players in a subtle and organic way. [/QUOTE]
